Time Data Settings; Setting The User's Bit; Setting The Time Code - Panasonic AG-DVC200 Operating Instructions Manual

Time data settings

When both the user's bit and time code are to be used, the user's bit is set first.
The time code can be set from 00:00:00:00 to 23:59:59:29.

Setting the user's bit

By setting the user's bit, memos (date, time) and other information
consisting of up to 8 hexadecimal digits can be recorded on the
sub-code track.
1
Set the COUNTER/TC/UB switch to UB.
2
Set the TCG switch to SET.
"UBG ¢¢:¢¢:¢¢:¢¢" now appears in the viewfinder. Select
a number for the flashing part by rotating the JOG dial button,
and press the JOG dial button to enter it. When the number is
entered, the flashing moves to the next character on the right
so that another number can be input in the same way until the
user's bit is set.
3
Set the TCG switch to F-RUN or R-RUN.
4
Select the "UB MODE" on the sub-menu
<VTR FUNCTION> screen. (See page 34)
Concerning the user's bit memory function
The user's bit settings (except for the actual time) are automatically
stored in the memory and retained even after the power has been
turned off.
<Notes>
≥When DATE is selected for "UB MODE" on the sub-menu <VTR
FUNCTION>, the year/month/day on the TIME/DATE screen will
function in real time.
≥When TIME is selected for "UB MODE" on the sub-menu <VTR
FUNCTION>, the hours/minutes/seconds on the TIME/DATE
screen will function in real time.

Setting the time code

1
Set the COUNTER/TC/UB switch to TC.
2
Set the TCG switch to SET.
"TCG ¢¢:¢¢:¢¢:¢¢" now appears in the viewfinder. Set
the time code by performing the same operations used to set
the user's bit.
3
Set TC MODE to DF or NDF on the sub-
menu <VTR FUNCTION> screen.
Set this to DF to advance the time code in the drop frame
mode or NDF to advance it in the non-drop frame mode.
4
Set the TCG switch.
Set this to F-RUN to advance the time code in the free-run
mode or R-RUN to advance it in the rec-run mode.
<Note>
The backup accuracy of the time code will be out by several frames
when the POWER switch has been set from ON to OFF and then
back to ON again.
